Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations.

About 41% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials — those who are currently between 27 and 42 years old — are significantly more likely to want to do some form of paid work during retirement.

This increasing preference for a lifelong income, could perhaps make the act of “retiring” obsolete.

Although younger workers don’t intend to stop working, there is still an effort to beef up their retirement savings.

It’s ok! Don’t ever retire! Just work until you die, preferably not at work, where we’d have to deal with the removal of your corpse.

    Living paycheck to paycheck isn’t a mentality… But pushing personal responsibility for what is a societal issue certainly is.

      I can agree with you. Thankfully I live in Europe where it’s good ethics for politicians thinking about societal issues, but in the “land of the free” that’s a luxury most people don’t expect. So help yourself.

        So help yourself.

        Trying to get the “Who watches the Watchers” crowd to reform themselves is always a problematic thing to do.

        The real test of a true democracy.
